I didn't shim the spider gears. The shims are right next to the clips that hold the yokes in place. I bought ring type shims that slide over the ends of the yokes then I snap in the clips. This forces the end of the yokes against the center bar. I wouldn't have them so tight in a street driven car as they will wear faster. If I'm right the play in the spider gears should not be affected?

What about the posi unit? With the car on stands, tranny in gear (auto in park), can you turn the wheel? A good posi will not let you turn it.

When the car is on stands and in gear... I can not move the wheel with all my strength.
